FAQs

I feel my hospital is spending too much on Human Resource?

Our actual ALOS is beyond our assumptions and it is affecting our revenue?

It is very important to make sure the ALOS fall in line with the industry norms. Your hospital consultants would have worked on this while conceptualizing the project. If it is increased, then the main reason may be your operational inefficiency. You need to relook into the administrative SOPs before looking into treatment SOPs. A mere decrease in ALOS by 20% can increase the patient turnover by around 20%. You need to seek the assistance of consultants to optimize the facilities.

"Shorter the ALOS, more the patient number" and hence revenue to the hospital.

Longer ALOS does not mean the treatment is good. For most common cases, the ALOS are standard and the facility to keep up the duration for overall benefits for both patients and doctors. Whether it is financially good or bad, totally depends on the type and age of the hospital. For any patients, either surgical or medical, majority of the services are rendered in the inital 2-3 days. So, at attain maximum revenue, most of the hospitals want the ALOS to be shorter so that it can accomodate another patient and hence business. But it all depends on the type of treatment and its methodology. Ultimately, doctor should declare the patient FIT TO discharge.
